Is it possible/within reason to manage your own property while living so far away AND working a full-time job?

I am looking at this as a full time career, and am willing to do much of the legwork myself when appropriate, in case anyone was wondering about my expected level of involvement.

If  the tenant paid the full year in advance, would the PM hold the money and dole it out on a monthly basis to the owner? 

Then set it up so the tenent can have a horseOr a beat up mobile home on a few acres, Fox it up and make ready for a horse and rent it Full background check and FICO score on all tenents Properties are also appreciating.

We turned half bath into full bath for $2400 with a plumber.

In other words,  you've paid twice.I would prefer you make them pay full rent and then pay them for services rendered just like any other employee or contractor.
